    That’s correct. Flatpak is the present. It’s happening right now.

      Is it though? is it integrated by default in your desktop environment? Can you easily add 3rd party repos from GUI? Can you finely edit the sandboxing settings for an app from GUI?

      Hell, i can’t even find how to make flatpak apps respect my keymap for keybindings. Inside a flatpak run’ed app, typing respects AZERTY but pressing Ctrl+A will trigger quit dialog (Ctrl+Q) as if i used QWERTY keymap.

        It creates .desktop files and even sandboxes dbus, what more should it do?

        Can you easily add 3rd party repos from GUI?

        Why would GUI users need to do that?

        Can you finely edit the sandboxing settings for an app from GUI?

          Your response was far more accurate that I could do. 👍
